  • In this classic episode of On Two Wheels, MC Road Test Editor Ari Henning and guest rider Bradley Adams from Sport Rider magazine set out to find the bigger differences between KTM's 690 Duke and the Husqvarna TR650 Strada. Both bikes have found a home in lineups that put greater emphasis on dirt-oriented models, but prove largely capable on the street. In typical OTW fashion, only one can come out on top. Will it be the 690 Duke or TR650 Strada? KTM or Husqvarna? Watch and find out.
    (Episode 29) NOTE TO OTW VIEWERS: As you may or may not know, the On Two Wheels team is no longer part of the Motor Trend channel and we've been gradually bringing our past video efforts here to our own channel on You Tube. YES, some of these shows are from the past (re: "CLASSIC") but if you're a fan of ON TWO WHEELS, stay subscribed because this is the only place on You Tube where you'll find future NEW episodes of ON TWO WHEELS.

    Hey Ari, when you rode the Duke 690 did you have any issues with the suspension? I'm not sure if mine is just shot or something, but it's like there's no rebound damping in mine. The thing is a frigging pogo stick. Is this normal?

    So I don't know if y'all know this, BUT these bikes are not Supermoto bikes. They MIGHT be similar to its Enduro brother but these are naked road bikes. Not supermoto or dual sport bikes that you take over any and all terrain like is being done in this video. Also a side note, Ari looks RIDICULOUS with dreadlocks 😂
